Equilibrium constants for reactions catalyzed by ribulose-5-phosphate 3-epimerase, [sigma xylulose-5-P]/[sigma ribulose-5-P] = 1.82, ribose-5-phosphate isomerase, [sigma Rib-5-P]/[sigma ribulose-5-P] = 1.20, transaldolase, [sigma erythrose-4-P] [sigma Fru-6-P]/[sigma sedoheptulose-7-P] [sigma glyceraldehyde 3-P] = 0.37, and transketolase, [sigma Fru-6-P] [sigma glyceraldehyde 3-P]/[sigma erythrose-4-P] [sigma xylulose-5-P] = 29.7 and [sigma Rib-5-P] [sigma xylulose-5-P]/[sigma sedoheptulose-7-P] [sigma glyceraldehyde 3-P] = 0.48, were redetermined under physiological conditions. The equilibrium constant for the combined glucose-6-P dehydrogenase and 6-phosphoglucono-gamma-lactonase reaction, [6-phosphogluconate3-] [NADPH] [H+]2/[Glc-6-P2-] [NADP+], was found to be at least 1 X 10(-9). Using these redetermined equilibrium constants, calculated values of pentose cycle intermediates, based on near equilibrium assumptions and the tissue content of Fru-6-P and glyceraldehyde 3-P, were found to be in good agreement with measured values for male Wistar rats injected with saline, 20 mumol/g pyruvate, 20 mumol/g gluconate, and 20 mumol/g ribose. Measured and calculated values for pentose cycle intermediates in saline injected animals were ribulose-5-P; 3.8 +/- 0.4 and 2.4 +/- 0.1 nmol/g; xylulose-5-P, 5.9 +/- 0.6 nmol/g and 4.3 +/- 0.2 nmol/g; sedoheptulose-7-P, 41.5 +/- 2.4 and 37.6 +/- 2.9 nmol/g; and combined sedopheptulose-7-P and Rib-5-P, 43.0 +/- 2.8 nmol/g and 40.5 +/- 3.0 nmol/g; liver content of erythrose-4-P was less than the detection limits of the assay, 2 nmol/g. Calculated erythrose-4-P was 0.23 +/- 0.01 nmol/g. Liver content of 6-phosphogluconate was 8.5 +/- 0.7 nmol/g. The free cytosolic [NADP+]/[NADPH] ratio calculated from the 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase redox couple, 0.0030 +/- 0.0002, was also in good agreement with that calculated from the malic enzyme redox couple, 0.0051 +/- 0.0007, and the isocitrate dehydrogenase redox couple, 0.0066 +/- 0.0008. These data indicate the interdependence of the liver content of glycolytic intermediates and pentose cycle intermediates in ad libitum fed rats.
